[PHP] checking
I have a form and I don't want to insert recording with blank value.
I put:
if ($lastname=) {
$insert=no
}
if ($insert=no){
do not insert;
else
insert;
}
my probleme is in some case $lastname= is true and other case is false.
I tried with $lastname= but no change. how can I check if a varible is
empty or not?

[PHP] Adding GD libraries after compile
Hi I have a working PHP build on my webserver, but it seems it was compiled without support for gd or pdflib and a couple of others. Since rebuilding PHP requires a rebuild of apache as well, I really don't want to go that route unless 100% essential. So, is there a way I can add these libs now without recompiling?

if(empty($firstname))

if(!$badvalue)

I'd really advise using 1/0 or TRUE/FALSE instead of yes/no for values like
$insert, because the if statements are a lot quicker to write:
if($value) { ... } or if(!$value) { ... }
rather than
if($value == yes) { ... } or if($value == no) { ... }

Re: [PHP] Adding GD libraries after compile
I've just done a little reading on dl(), and it would appear that I can dynamically load the GD lib at run time. Although it isn't really clear to me exactly how this is done, given that I have the gd-1.8.4 directory in my doc root (although I haven't compiled it as yet). Quote the manual: bool dl ( string library) Loads the PHP extension given by the parameter library. The library parameter is only the filename of the extension to load which also depends on your platform. For example, the sockets extension (if compiled as a shared module, not the default!) would be called sockets.so on unix platforms whereas it is called php_sockets.dll on the windows platform. /quote If string library is just the file name (eg gd.so), then I don't see how I can specify the directory which I'm storing the gd.so file AFTER I've compiled it. Does this mean that the gd.so library would have to be placed inside the extension_dir as specified by php.ini? This pretty much rules me out, since I'm on a shared server, and won't be granted access to this directory. Unless I could use ini_set to set the extension directory. Has any one got some sample code of how all this might string together? Justin French -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] securing an 'includes' dir
Assuming you have Apache/Unix (don't know about any other set-ups), I do the following. 1. Name all included files .inc I do this for many reasons, but mainly to help me know which are executables, and which are includes. It also helps with step 3. 2. I always keep them in a separate dir to the rest of my code, eg /inc/ 3. Include a .htaccess file in the /inc/ directory (or further up towards your docroot with the following: Files ~ \.inc$ Order Allow,Deny Deny from all /Files Basically, it denies direct (http) access to all *.inc files. This means the only way you can use/view/execute .inc files is by things like include() in another php script. I believe that Apache spits out a 500 error page if you try to access something.inc via the URL. 4. In addition (and a small deterrent in itself if step 3 is unavailable), I include a blank or redirecting index.html file in the /inc/ directory, so that they can't view the directory listing at all. An additional security measure might be to ensure that only certain scripts can access the inc files, but I haven't gone that far yet :) I'm unsure how well this prevents other users on the server from accessing the files though. Unfortunately this will require the admin to allow you to use htaccess files in your on disk hierarchy, or possibly requesting him/her to make the changes needed themselves.

[PHP] session vars and frames

Now in my leftFrame I want to put the status (i.e. you are logged in as .)
When people are succesfully logged in I register their name as
session_register('session_loginname');
I then refresh the leftFrame.
In the page to be displayed in the leftFrame I put:
?php if (!isset($session_loginname))
{
echo you are not a member;
}
else
{
echo login: $session_loginname;
}
?
However, my leftFrame page keeps on displaying you are not a member So I was
wondering: is there something with sessionvariables and frames which I don't know??
If anybody has any ideas I would be happy to hear them.

Re: [PHP] securing an 'includes' dir
1. Name all included files .inc I do this for many reasons, but mainly to help me know which are executables, and which are includes. It also helps with step 3. Just for an added layer of security (incase step 3 isnt effective due to mis-configuration or what have you), name them .inc.php and at the top of the code put something like this (eg: filename == mysql.inc.php): if ($SCRIPT_NAME==/inc/mysql.inc.php) die(you shouldnt be talking to me!); or if your really clever - you could throw a 404: not found or a 301: access denied. This also means that your script will be relatively harmless and the PHP code would never be divulged. If it was in a .inc file alone, then if the ..htaccess wasnt being effective (or it was accidentally uploaded to an alternate location) then it would be completely exposed. 3. Include a .htaccess file in the /inc/ directory (or further up towards your docroot with the following: Files ~ \.inc$ Order Allow,Deny Deny from all /Files Change the first line to Files ~ \.inc.php$ in order to fit this more secure procedure. -- Dan Hardiker [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ADAM Software Systems Engineer First Creative Ltd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi all,
would be very greatful if someone could hlp. Basically I want to
extract information from Mysql, and then write it to a file.
I can write state pieces of text, but having trouble with writing
when the information comes out in a while loop. This is what I
hhave
so far:
$result=mysql_query(SELECT topicid FROM $topicdb limit 50);
$file_name = topics.html;
$file_pointer = fopen($file_name, w);
while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
extract($r);
$the_text = $topicidbr;
fwrite($file_pointer, $the_text);
;
}
fclose($file_pointer);
print data written to file successfuly;
but that doesn't seem to work, it only writes the first time, and
doesn't add the rest of the loops. anyone help please?

I would suggest posting your full code. Unless it's very large. In which case
you should debug by starting with a simple loop. get it working, then build
on it:
while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
print_r($r);

[PHP] Help: Constants
Hi, Maybe it's already discussed here, but PHP is generating errors of undefined constants. These constants are defined in my scripts. Als the superglobal $_ENV is empty. Can anyone tell what's wrong here? I'm using a W2K server, with Apache 1.3.26 and PHP 4.2.1 Thanks in advance, S.

[PHP] Web Printing
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone came across this problem before: When I print a document directly from my browser, it comes out with the title on the top right , page number of the top left, address on the bottom left and date on the bottom right, Page Headers and Footers Using IE I can set the page headers and footers under the page setup option. Header: wbPage p of P Footer: ubd I need some way of disabling / changing this as my clients print reports that need a proper printout. I need to change it using css / vbscript / JavaScript ???

Re: [PHP] Adding GD libraries after compile
Yes, you are ruled out, unless you can convice your administrator to include it. Extensions are pure machine code, so if anybody could load his/her own extension, he/she could easily gain http server priviledges. Justin French wrote: I've just done a little reading on dl(), and it would appear that I can dynamically load the GD lib at run time. Although it isn't really clear to me exactly how this is done, given that I have the gd-1.8.4 directory in my doc root (although I haven't compiled it as yet). Quote the manual: bool dl ( string library) Loads the PHP extension given by the parameter library. The library parameter is only the filename of the extension to load which also depends on your platform. For example, the sockets extension (if compiled as a shared module, not the default!) would be called sockets.so on unix platforms whereas it is called php_sockets.dll on the windows platform. /quote If string library is just the file name (eg gd.so), then I don't see how I can specify the directory which I'm storing the gd.so file AFTER I've compiled it. Does this mean that the gd.so library would have to be placed inside the extension_dir as specified by php.ini? This pretty much rules me out, since I'm on a shared server, and won't be granted access to this directory. Unless I could use ini_set to set the extension directory.

$var);
$var = preg_replace(!table.*?!is, TABLE border=1

$var = str_replace(p, , $var);
$var = str_replace(P, , $var);
$var = str_replace(/p, , $var);
$var = str_replace(/P, , $var);
preg_match_all(!(/?t.*?)!is, $var, $output);
if (count($output[0]) 0)
{
for($i=0; $icount($output[0]); $i++)
{
$var = str_replace($output[0][$i], strtolower($output[0][$i]), $var);
}
}
return $var;
}
and now all of the table tags are lowercase. Much nicer.

I forgot to point out another disadvantage of turning on register_globals
apart from that of security is that when you are sending a page with a
form to the same page, e.g:
form name=whatever action=$PHP_SELF method=post
there is a tendency to lose info.. E.g.
If you are sending text separated by spaces you only manage to
send the first word this can be overcome by using the
htmlspecialchars('value') method to evaluate value...
turning on globals is to make the coding easier but has a
good deal of disadvantages...

If by hyperlink you mean the URL in the URL bar of their browser,
correct -- people will see it. That GET data is part of the URL, sort

Most browsers will not display POST data to their users (easily) but
it's never truly hidden from view. Any data that your users are

[PHP] Keeping Secrets in PHP Files
The recent thread on security has prompted me to think about security in a shared server environment. I want to see if my understanding is correct ... Let's say I am in a shared server environment the provider does NOT have safe_mode turned on. In that case, it seems to me that it is insecure to keep secrets (e.g., DB passwords) in a PHP file that is executed by the server. I say this because any other users of that shared host can read the PHP file obtain the secret. There does not seem to be any way around this (once again, I am assuming safe_mode is NOT turned on).

RE: [PHP] checking
if ($lastname=) {
$insert=no
}
Even though you should use either empty() or isset(), you'd have a parse error if you
wrote that as:
if (=$lastname) {
$insert=no
}
It takes a little time to learn to write the test 'backwards' but if you do the php
parser will help and catch your single = typo when you really wanted a compare ==. I
call that defensive programming.
Another thing I do in my defensive programming tool kit is to use fuzzy compares to
trap errors. For instance, say you're writing an application to maintain a price list
for products, and are validating that the price. You could write the validation to
check for == 0, and output an error in that case. But it's more defensive to check
for = 0, that way if data gets corrupted somehow, you'll find out about it sooner
rather than later.
I also write my applications to validate the data on retrieval from the database, as
well as when the user to requesting update. If you do that, any corruption of the
data will be seen by the user even when inquiring on items. So again problems are
found sooner rather than later.

Re: [PHP] More on removing item from cart
Thanks to Jason and ³Sp² for the tip on ³print_r². After all the books I¹ve read, and
all the
scrounging through the manual, I¹m amazed I missed that one. It¹s VERY helpful!
Thanks for your comments Dan. I¹ve actually spent quite some time trying to rework the
cart because
I agree that the way it¹s written now is strange. However, I hit a wall trying to
rework it, and
decided to go back to the same wall I¹ve been banging my head against all week.
I think you understand most of the process with one clarification. When the user
unchecks a checkbox
to remove an article from the cart, they click a ³save² button (which triggers the
if($save) part of
the script). The ³checkout² button triggers a separate process that¹s not really
involved here. The
show_cart page is only showing the articles added to the cart and refreshing the cart
when articles
are removed and of course setting the session variables for the cart.
I¹ve included the information you requested at the bottom of this message, showing the
contents of
the $cart and $checkbox arrays at various stages. The relevant code from the show_cart
page is this:
if($new) //new item selected
{
if(!session_is_registered(cart))
{
$cart = array();
session_register(cart);
$article_qty = 0;
session_register(article_qty);
$total_words = 0;
session_register(total_words);
}
if($cart[$new])
$cart[$new]++;
else
$cart[$new] = 1;
}
if($save) //save button clicked
{
foreach($cart as $artID = $value)
{
if(!isset($yes))
unset($cart[$artID]);
else
$cart[$artID] = $$artID;
}
}
I know the ³foreach² part under if($save) is all wrong. It seems to me that it should
be possible to
write some sort of loop that says ³if the artID (key) for an element in the cart array
doesn¹t match
an artID in the checkbox array, then unset the element with that artID from the cart
array.² OR
³only display those elements in the cart array for which an element exists in the
checkbox array
that has the same key.²
I¹ve tried a bunch of different ways to do this with no success. I¹m not even sure you
can work with
two arrays in this way in PHP. Couldn¹t you do something like
if ($checkbox[$artID] == $cart[$artID]))
{ then those are the elements that make up the array $cart }
I haven¹t been able to figure this part out. Aargh! Perhaps something is patently
obvious in this
code to PHPers. If so, I truly welcome your suggestions, and Dan I really appreciate
your looking at
this so closely.
Exasperated, Vicki
PS when I use print_r to display the contents of the arrays, I see a 1 after the
array contents. I
have no idea what that refers to. Any ideas?
___
Here's the code you requested. This is from the View Source window so hopefully you
can see what's
going on more clearly. The first sample is when two new articles have been added to
the cart. I've
included the array info and the relevant html.
pre Cart Array at top of show_cart page: Array
(
[3] = 1
[1] = 1
)
1/pre
pre Checkbox Array at top of show_cart page: 1/pre
pre Cart Array after if($save): Array
(
[3] = 1
[1] = 2
)
1/pre
pre Checkbox Array after if($save): 1/pre

Re: [PHP] Searching within a range
I want to search within a result from a query A specific range (price) If that's what you really want, then you need to save the results of your first query into a table that you can re-query at a later date. Run a cron job to delete old tables. If your query is: SELECT * FROM main WHERE price BETWEEN 0 AND 50; Then you would use CREATE TABLE temp_random_name SELECT * FROM main WHERE price BETWEEN 0 AND 50; And when you need to re-query, select from 'temp_table_name' uniqid will come in handy for making table names. www.php.net/uniqid. Note that you don't want to create a mysql temporary table, i.e. CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ..., because that table will be removed at the end of the connection, i.e. the end of the script.

Hi all. I have a question about sessions which is the best way to close a session if one its opened for a certain user and then this user changes to another computer?

Does this make any sense? Is there a better way to do this?

As for the new computer, they'll have to start a new session there automatically, because they won't have the same cookie matching the session ID from the first computer. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: César Aracena [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2002 1:24 AM To: PHP General List Subject: [PHP] SESSION's from common computers Hi all. I have a question about sessions which is the best way to close a session if one its opened for a certain user and then this user changes to another computer? I guess that I could manage with session_start_time and session_end_time fields in the DB, and tell the script to see if the opened session hasnt been closed then close it and open a new one. Does this make any sense? Is there a better way to do this? I want to know this because many users actually use cyber-coffees computers to access web sites and Ive seen them leaving their chair with the windows still opened and changing to another pc.

RE: [PHP] SESSION's from common computers
Got it but... What happens if someone else grabs the computer that my user was sitting at 2 minutes before, leaving the window opened and after he grabs the new machine open a new session... isn't PHP capable of determining that the same user is trying to open a 2nd session no matter what the cookie tells it? I mean by his username.

RE: [PHP] SESSION's from common computers
You don't have any way of telling if the user switched. You just receive a request for a web page and the browser sends any cookies it has. If the user even decides to log in as themselves, you can see if a cookie/session was sent and delete that cookie/session before you let the other person log in. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: César Aracena [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2002 2:11 AM To: 'PHP General List' Subject: RE: [PHP] SESSION's from common computers Got it but...
